Nah, it's the other way around. They overrate Kendrick's work because of all the publicity he's getting. The album was great as fuck, but Lupe was on another level until he fell off hard.
Hope Kendrick has the longevity and consistency that Lupe didn't have.
Overrated by who ? Kendrick is getting publicity because of the quality of his album...
People don't consider Kendrick as the King because it's cool at the moment to think that kendrick is the goat, they say it because they think it.
If anything, some people underrate GKMC just because they feel insecure about their favorite rapper.
GKMC is considered by a lot of ppl as the best debut album since The college Dropout and you can disagree with that but saying that GKMC is overrated, it's like saying that TMMLP and Illmatic are overrated.
These albums were praised as instant classic, just like Good Kid M.A.A.d. City
The industry that is praising Kendrick is the same industry that praised Nas and Eminem (fans, artists, journalists, etc)
